It the negro problem, so-called, Is worked out, it must be by the co-oper- ation and not by the opposition of the white man. Let in All the Light. Not since the Ballinger-Pinchot in- vestigation began has there been any sound reason for refusing to admit all the light that actually bears on the facts of the case, and now that Secre- tary Ballinger has gone on the witness stand and refuted the charges of Mr. Glavis in as strong terms as they were made, there is added reason for the fullest possible inquiry. The nature of this case in the first place and the character of the men in- | volved in the second constitute an is- sue in which the government is vitally interested. That alone is enough to demand a full, clean sweep of the facts, which, no doubt, all parties to the con- troversy want as much as the public welfare exacts. It would be impossible to arrive at a satisfactory settlement by any other course and indeed it may be impossible to attain that end, any- way., It will not be necessary to ap- pease certain outside passions that have seized on ‘his national controversy as a means of making personal or private capital. The only interest which has any right to be considered is that of Justice. If, therefore, the prolonging of the investigation means a thorough probing for and weighing of facts then there should be no chafing at delay. Creighton University. The graduation of another class from Creighton Law school serves to direct attention to the growth of Omaha’s facilities in educational lines. Crelghton university is easily the first, aside from the public schools. This great institution, founded in the gener- osity of one of the ploneer citizens and fostered since by his family, has stead- ily increased In importance, until now it takes high rank and is growing in usefulness each year. 'It is not alone active In a sectarlan way, for its scien- tific branches are perhaps better pat- ronized than its academic. Creighton Law school and Creighton Medical col- lege are furnishing brilliant members of two of the learned professions who are spreading the light of knowledge, and incidentally the fame of Omaha, throughout the world. Omaha has many institutions and manufactories in which much pride is felt, but none of these equal in importance the fac- tories that turn out citizens, and of ‘these Creighton university stands in the front rank. After a month of idleness in the coal mines work has been resumed on the basis of practically what the men asked, and the operators denled, at the outset. Just why these disputes can- not be adjusted without cessation of work and interruption of business is beyond comprehension. It has been found possible in other lines, the rail- roads furnishing a most illustrious ex- men operators certainly ought to be able to reach such an understanding as would permit the occasional read- justment ot wage scales and working contracts without disturbing business that depends on fuel supp Complaint comes from the Black Hills that the grouse are s0 numerous as to be a dangerous pest. Men are still iving in Omaha who can remem- ber the day when it was unsafe for a citizen to go abroad after the middle of July unless he carried a shotgun as protection against the attack of fero- cious prairie chickens. Many an un- protected wayfarer has been severely bitten by these ravenous birds. United States.

The people are not hankering to| restore the democracy to power. democrats have been elected the voters| have merely taken that method to indi- cate their displeasure toward the faithless- | ness of the republican party in congress. Progressive republicans, who are more keenly discerning of real political condl- tions than anybody else, have no hope that | the democrats, if returned to power, would accomplish anything in the line of pro- gressive legislation, or that thelr trlumph would loosen the grip of privilege upon the government. In congress and out the democratic party is without policy and without leadership. It has lost hold of its anclent principles, { and has annexed no new ones in thelr stead. Given a majority in both houses of congress and a president in the White House, there is nothing in their record to persuade anybody that a single plank of | the last national platform would be erystal- lized into legislation. A wing of the party, well represented In the present house and senate, 18 wedded as strongly to privilege as are Aldrich, Hale and Cannon. The | Denver platform specificlally pledged the | party to free lumber, and the lumber duty in the Payne bill was saved by democratic votes. The chairman of the Denver con- vention (Clayton), and a senator (Sim- mons), who was on the platform com- mittes, both voted to retain that obnoxious auty. Since 1892 the party has been drifting on the sea of opportuniem. Betrayed fol- lowing the '92 victory by the protectionist element within fits ranks, it has been grasping In each successive campafgn at foMies, which represented neither dem- ocracy nor political sense, as the results show.

Canon Willlam Sheafe Chase, rector of Christ Eplscopal church, Bedford avenus, near Clymer street, Brooklyn, learned to his sorrow. Canon Chase was a greatly disappointed clergyman when he discovered that the | Jewelry ana siiverware collected by mem- bers of the vestry during the Sunday morn- ing services would not bring the $1,600 he expected to wipe out the Indebtedness on the rectory. In fact, the total was $1,350 short of that sum. Christ church is one of the most exclusive in Brooklyn, reports the World. Canon Chase a year ago cleared the debt on the church property, and for some time he has been striving to pay off a mortgage of $1,600 on the rectory. Some women of the con- gregation conceived the plan of offering their excess jewelry and silverware for that purpose. A week ago Canon Chase an- nounced that a speclal collection would be taken up last Sunday morning, and he made an appeal for any jewelry, silverware or gems which could be turned to money. Canon Chase had arranged to count up the treasure yesterday afternoon, and a manufacturing feweler, provided with all the appllances necessary for testing metals, was on hand. A number of women of the church opened the bundles. The costly gems and fewelry expected did not materialize. Instead, the packages con- talned a sad assortment of old silverware, almost worthless, jewelry, pewter table- ware, mutilated coins and time-worn watches. After all the packages had been opened and the “funk,” as it was termed, spread out the jeweler put a value of $150 on the lot.
